This finding highlights a new risk for companies that want to make AI a regular part of their operations. While more businesses are using AI, accountability, oversight, and continuity still need to improve.
Singapore's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are adopting artificial intelligence (AI) quickly. However, many have not set up the systems needed to keep making progress if their main AI leaders leave.
New research commissioned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) found that six in ten SMEs across Singapore's financial services, healthcare and manufacturing sectors would face significant or moderate disruption if the primary person responsible for AI left the organisation. Around one in ten said their AI initiatives would likely stop altogether.
